If you live in the city, scooters are a solid solution to traffic-congested commutes, which is why you see so many of them for rent. Now there’s a way to own one that’s sturdy and speedy enough to get you across town and portable enough to store nearly anywhere. And at less than $500, this 500W Electric Folding Scooter is affordable enough for those who just want to use it for recreation.

Mind you, this is no children’s toy. The 48V electric motor is capable of bringing the scooter up to 25 miles per hour on the straightaway, with torque that can power it up inclines of 15 degrees. It charges up fully in about 3 hours and has a range of about 30 miles — well over that of more expensive models. The air-filled, 10-inch wheels provide plenty of stability and traction, making this a good scooter for first-time riders. The makers recognize that scooters should be easy to control, and the ergonomic interface lets anyone get on their way quickly.

A couple other features make it ideal for city use, starting with the design. When the ride is done, you can fold it up to take on the bus or stow under your desk. At less than 50 inches long, it fits just about anywhere, and the frame weighs in at a portable 40 pounds.

Need to leave it on the street? It even has a built-in security system in the form of a companion app. Log in and you can lock the controls and monitor its status from afar.
